Dale's take on West St. Paul
I get calls from West St. Paul homeowners who inherited a junk boat with the house, or they're cleaning out an estate and the old boat in the backyard has to go. Sometimes someone listed it for sale one season, got no bites, and now it's just taking up space. The motor's dead, the repair quote is five grand, and they're done. We show up, load it, and tow it out. Start to finish, one day.
We handle boats across West St. Paul and Lilydale, and jobs in Lilydale often stack with a West St. Paul call the same afternoon. The crew deals with the whole job, missing paperwork does not stop the work, and the details on the Minnesota page cover title transfer and vessel disposal. You don't need to figure any of that out before you call.
What's covered
What boat removal covers in West St. Paul
We handle any vessel in West St. Paul, whether it's sitting on a dead trailer in your driveway, parked at a storage lot, or taking up a marina slip. Jobs start around $250. The crew shows up with a heavy-duty trailer and winch, pulls the boat out, and loads it secure for transport. We run the same route through Sunfish Lake and Mendota Heights, so we know the roads and the tight spots. Once we've got it, we either dismantle it at our yard or send it to the processor, never leaving debris on your property. Boats are dismantled at our yard or the processor, never on site. The process steps below show how scheduling works.

Aluminum, motors, hardware and salvageable fiberglass are routed to recyclers first. Only what a facility refuses ends up in a landfill.

Common questions about West St. Paul boat removal
How much does boat removal cost in West St. Paul?
The pricing section above is the honest answer: a starting point, then four things that move it. Size, location, condition, distance. Photos of your boat in West St. Paul get you a firm number the same day.
Is boat removal ever free in West St. Paul?
Free removal in West St. Paul depends on what the boat still has going for it. Salvage value covers some jobs entirely. We look at photos, tell you straight which case is yours, then schedule.
Can you remove a boat without a title in West St. Paul?
Minnesota titles most boats: once a boat has been here more than 90 consecutive days, it needs one. Either way, missing paperwork does not stop a West St. Paul pickup. The legal section on the Minnesota page covers what applies and what we need from you.
How fast can you pick up a boat in West St. Paul?
Usually within days, not weeks. You get the pickup window the day before and a call when the truck is an hour away. If it has to be this week, say so when you call.
Do I have to be there for the pickup?
No. Out-of-state owners are half this business. The crew documents the pickup with photos, you approve, and the paperwork closes out remotely.
Can you take the trailer too?
Yes, and most people want it gone with the boat. Flat tires, rusted frame, seized hubs, none of it matters, we winch the boat and load the trailer separately if it will not roll.
What kinds of boats do you take in West St. Paul?
Every kind that shows up in West St. Paul: bowriders, pontoons, sailboats, jon boats, jet skis. Condition is not a filter. Missing engine, holed hull, a decade of leaves inside, we still take it.
